I am an associate professor in the department of mathematics at Korea University. 

I went to ETH Zurich for my postdoctoral research under Prof. Habib Ammari.  I got my Ph.D. in mathematics from KAIST, advised by Prof. Mikyoung Lim. I received my bachelor's degree in physics from Korea University.
